Reviews

This book is a must read for political communication scholars. It is rare to be offered a systematic, multi-faceted, and theoretically-driven analysis of a single election component. Benoit's content analysis of United States debates (presidential and non-presidential), as well as political debates conducted across the globe, is unrivaled. -- Lance Holbert, University of South Carolina
